    Probably what I call a 'daily diary'.
    Just a note book that I write in during the day about what we have done, naps, meals, bottles, nappies etc then diary gets passed back to parents when child goes home and parents write in it about how child slept, how they are feeling, if they had breakfast etc and they pass the diary to me in the morning etc etc. I also use it to nore holiday dates, give messages, ask questions etc.
    Some times called a home-contact book.
    You can buy pre-printed ones or just use a notebook. Some people use email/text or an online system to do the same thing.
    It is all about good communication between home and setting- you need to find a method that suits you and the families.
    It is not compulsory and I only do it for the EYFS age group, some people only do it for under 3s.

    I send parents an e-mail each evening that tells them the activities / outings their child took part in, what they ate for snack, lunch, tea - what time I changed nappies and how long & when they slept.

    My parents find it useful to have it e-mailed as often one parent would bring child and a different parent / grandparent would collect and any verbal handovers I gave would not be passed on - I also had a parent who worked away some of the time found it comforting to know what her child had been up to and she said she didn't feel so much of an "absent mummy".
